The Issue

Nottingham City Airport (EGBN) is at risk of being permanently closed and replaced with housing developments, threatening the future of aviation in the region. This airfield has been a vital part of the local community for decades, serving pilots, students, flying schools, emergency services, and businesses. Its closure would mean the loss of essential training facilities, a significant setback for aspiring pilots, and the end of a crucial resource for air ambulance and emergency operations. The aviation industry is already struggling with a decline in available airfields, and losing Nottingham City Airport would further limit opportunities for training and general aviation activities. Once it is gone, there will be no way to bring it back. The decision is expected by June 6, and time is running out to make our voices heard. If enough people oppose this closure, there is a chance to stop it and protect this irreplaceable asset. We must act now to ensure that Nottingham City Airport remains a hub for learning, industry, and aviation for future generations. Sign the petition and help save this essential airfield before it’s too late.
